A team of bomb specialists, utility company employees and public safety personnel worked with specialized cameras Thursday to pinpoint explosive materials sitting for decades under a Thousand Oaks street.

Their goal was to determine the exact location and excavate the materials found late Tuesday morning on Adele Place as personnel from Southern California Gas worked to replace gas lines.

The materials weren't considered an immediate danger. A bomb squad Tuesday stabilized the explosive and determined it was left behind from construction in 1973.

Detective Tim Lohman, of the Ventura County Sheriff's Office, said Thursday two wires had been located sticking out of a small hole around 2 inches in diameter.
